Paleo diets aren’t supposed to have potatoes.
Paleo said on April 1, 2011:
Sweet potatoes hold a higher nutritional value to that of potatoes and some other tubers and are recommended as an alternative food source for nutritionally deprived high carbohydrates when needed – such as for athletes. Research on contemporary H/G’s has found that while they do indeed consume some foods raw, most of foods are cooked, including nuts, seeds, tubers, vegetables and fruits. If you don’t want to consume sweet potato’s, I find a great alternative to sweet potato in most recipes is pumpkin.

Are these supposed to be hard boiled eggs or still soft in the middle?
Paleo said on June 6, 2011:
Generally for a salad, hard boiled is preferred or the egg will not keep shape, however they can be either hard or soft boiled, it will depend on your personal preference.

I was SO excited for this recipe, but it seems really sweet – I added extra lemon juice but it’s not really cutting it the way I want.. Any suggestions?

I think it sounds delicious!

I think it sounds amazing. Re potatoes, yams and squash make great substitute with less carbs and more nutrients and vitamins.

I only used half the amount of dill, since it’s such a strong flavor and 4tbs is a lot. It was good!

Do you think if I made enough of this to last a week it would last with out going bad? Also I don’t have sour cream.. will use 10% Greek yogourt.

I understand that sweet potatoes are ok on a Paleo diet (unless you’re in it as no carb weight loss thing), but why is bacon so common in Paleo recipes? Bacon, as delicious as it may be contains nasty nitrites (even the “natural” stuff does) among it’s bouquet of non-paleo ingredients . I guess as long as you know why you’re on the diet you can do as you will.
